BEST GOLF DRILL TO LOOSEN UP YOUR ARMS FOR AN EFFORTLESS GOLF SWING

In this tip I show you the best golf drill you can be doing to loosen your arms which will give you that effortless golf swing. If you're someone who's tight, this drill is for you.

If you're trying to build an effortless golf swing, you can't have your arms all locked up. They need to be loose. This is the best golf drill I've found that is sure to loosen you up. Yes, it's weird and different at first but if you keep doing it you'll finally get that effortless swing that'll hit the ball long and straight.

There are many reasons why people try to hit hard with their arms. They want to hit the ball hard, they're trying to keep the lead arm straight etc. Although an effortless golf swing doesn't feel powerful in your arms it'll hit the ball just as far, if not farther, than your hard, fast golf swing.

So if you are someone who's arms are all tight and locked up, this really is the best golf drill you can be doing to finally let go and stop trying to kill it. Give this drill about 10 mins to get used to this new looser feeling. Once you do, you will finally get this effortless feeling and you'll be playing pain free golf as well.

Paul, I went from an 18 handicap to a 10 this season, all by taking tips from your videos... thank you!

I have seen some excellent teachers on you tube but you are the benchmark for instruction. Common sense ideas imparted in a simple way. Your swing looks ridiculously easy and you hit it a mile. That is why sam snead played better longer than anyone else. These are the best easiest concepts I've ever seen.

The way you describe the "lock-up" is so accurate. Happened to me today on back nine, major tension. Looking forward to the drill!

3:10 5:40 6:50 ish golden!

Paul, an updated video on this subject with full motion and effort shots would be extremely informational!

Thinking the drill can be expanded into a stand on it's on playable action; especially for older and limited range of motion players!!!

Thank you

Paul, I'm not the guy you're talking about but it might as well been me. In the 1.5years that I've been playing I have never even done a full backswing, I'm always doing like 70% backswing with 0 hinge. I just watched this tip and for the first time I'm doing a full swing and it feels amazing! This works amazingly, together with the other videos you've recommended the other day. Charl

After watching Paul’s videos I am able to hit my irons way better. My driver has increased 15 yards. I try to do all the drills because so far they have worked. Thank you Paul.

Thanks Paul. I was the guy using my arms and going nowhere. Keeping my arms out of the swing, I gained distance and accuracy and the guys in my league are saying what have you changed you are hammering the ball!

[MrGramede]

Thanks, thanks and thanks again!!!! Your tips are golf life savers!!!! I enjoy them tremendously and watch them time and again.

Hi Paul. I followed your advice and gave this approach a valid try. It was far more challenging than I first thought. After about 1/2 a bucket I realized my impulse to hit was very strong in the downswing, particularly from last parallel to the ball. Once I realized this and kept my wrists loose through impact WOW what an epiphany. I discovered that if I focused more on staying behind the ball with my head and less on locking up my arms and wrists to “crush” it, the ball rocketed with seemingly no effort. I still revert back to bad habits and tense up occasionally but simply rotating my hips more efficiently and maintaining loose wrists gets me center face contact and excellent ball flight. It was very windy today (in my face) so I didn’t concern myself with distance but rather staying loose and smooth. Game changer, thank you. I’ll continue to follow you and look forward to more content but as for me and my playing partners, they can figure it out themselves while I shoot lower scores by staying in the fairway. Thanks Paul, I’m off to a good start I think.

Paul you’re the best. Keep up the good work.

Hi Paul. As someone who learned golf as an adult, your tips and overall teaching approach has been a breath of fresh air for me. While I’m in my 20’s, I have always described myself as a tight/never loose player, which has made golf a very frustrating sport for me. Additionally, I was a baseball/tennis player, which has left the feeling of reacting & hitting a ball engrained in my athletic approach. I’m in the process of breaking my swing down to the basics, with the goal of permanently applying the approach of “stop trying to hit the ball”. I’ve recently fully committed to the tips in your videos, as it's now clear that most of my instructors have completely underestimated the tightness & heavy use of arms in my swing. With that said…..I'd like share my recent experience/struggles with this drill because I am definitely……one of the EXTREME cases you mentioned.

I went out to the range this week and “Touched the Neck” for an entire bucket of balls. After about 10 balls, I had the loose feeling you described. I only focused on turning my body and having my belt facing left of the target when finished. I started with a wedge, and moved up to an 8 iron, as my confidence with this drill & loose feel was increasing. I could actually feel the weight of the club as I turned through, and could trust that the club would follow, all while keeping my arms “dead” (and the ball was going straight!). I left the range with so much excitement, as I finally had this feeling of separating my arms from my lower body. Then the next day came……..

The next day I went out to the range again (mistake #1), with the same excitement carried over from the day prior. I thought, “today I’m going to try and move up to driver & maybe even work on full swings.” After about 5 balls, I realized…..I had completely lost this feeling of not using my arms in the golf swing. It was insane how fast this feeling disappeared & how I couldn’t get it back (I couldn’t even get the feel back doing basic practice swings, as my arms were literally activating every time I turned through my swing). I sat at the range for 2 hours touching the neck with a simple wedge & could not turn my arms off no matter how hard I tried. It’s almost like my body was revolting against me for how many years I’ve been using all arms with no legs/hips. I was even letting go of the club at times, desperately trying to find this feeling again. It’s brutal because I know how groundbreaking this loose arms feeling is for my golf game…..but my last range session was so frustrating that I’m scared to get out there and look for it again.

Any tips for getting out of a rut like this? (It’s almost like I don’t trust that loose feeling anymore). Is there something else I can focus on to try and get that loose feeling back?

You’re the best.

i want to tell u.. i have been watching your vids for 2 straight weeks.... these are great for the common man golfer, i cant tell u how much i appreciate these .. im trying to implement all of your content.. its fantastic.. you are making a big difference in my golf game

[briannapier]

Great tip for taking arms out of the swing! I'm gonna start doing this drill immediately!

[youtubehandyman]

I had a round this morning, and watched this video before getting to the course. On the the range I felt loose and relax and warmed up well, but for some reason I was pull hooking them from the tee today. Not extremely bad, but missing fairways left. I shot a 90, still haven’t broke into 80’s but I’m consistently better since watching your videos. Thanks, keep the vids coming!

[trpe]

This drill is obviously made for me as the swing you describe in this vid is me, no lag straight wrists all upper body. I am a 9 and cant wait to see what happens to my game when I don't have a messy, jerky, short swing. Thanks Paul!

[RoastChestnut]

:-) I am a skinny unmuscular guy and according to my golf coach, I have a great practice swing, easy, loose and relaxed arms. Put a ball in from of me and that all changes, my arms suddenly lock up, with no extension, leading to an open face, a chicken wing and frustration on my part. I'm going try this next time I'm at the range to see if it helps. I bought Paul's Body Swing videos and they are great, they all make sense to me, it's just implementing the instructions especially concerning the arms. It's on me to conquer this because I didn't have this problem earlier as consistently as I do now. Anyway great videos Paul, Thank you.

[kenmergenthaler]

I have been watching your videos for at least two months, taking it to the range, I feel like I have a Gumby swing now, loose arms . flexibility is better, I feel like my back is not getting the torture like it used to, then the ball goes farther than I have seen it in a long time. It’s amazing! I am really working on my accuracy now and it’s slowly coming together nicely, thank you
